Mark Zuckerberg Celebrates Independence Day with Surfing Video
Independence Day Celebration
Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, posted a video on Instagram and Facebook showcasing his surfing skills on July 4th, celebrating American Independence Day. This day marks the liberation of the United States from British colonial rule.
Updated Style
In the video, Zuckerberg breaks away from his usual grey T-shirts, showing off a significantly evolved style over the past few years. Instead of his basic shirt and hoodie, the Meta CEO now sports luxury cashmere jackets paired with well-fitted jeans. A gold chain is also a recent addition to his look.
Surfing in Style
The video shows the 37-year-old billionaire in a formal suit, sipping beer while surfing and waving the American flag, with scenic mountains in the background. It appears he may be wearing Meta RayBan glasses, one of his company's innovations. Wearing a gold chain and tie, Zuckerberg wishes America a happy birthday as the nation celebrates the 248th anniversary of the liberation of the thirteen American colonies from colonial rule. This is not the first time Zuckerberg has shared unique greetings on this day; in 2021, he posted a similar video where he was flying a hydrofoil while holding the American flag.
Health Update
In his Facebook post, Zuckerberg wrote, "8 months full of recovery after an ACL tear here," indicating his successful recovery post-surgery. The video offers a glimpse into his health status post-recovery. The Instagram post has garnered over 488,990 likes and 16,601 comments.
Mixed Reactions
Opinions on the video are divided. While some users appreciate Zuckerberg's cool vibe, others mock the video. Comments ranged from admiration for his effortless stance on the board to jests about the water being too cold and remarks on his recent recovery. Some comments on Instagram included, "Never looked better recovering," and "CEOs after announcing a round of layoffs on July 3."
Viral Spread
The video quickly spread beyond Meta's social media platforms, with users on X (formerly Twitter) also sharing it widely. X user Max Weinbach reposted the video, stating, "Zuck won America Day. King of summer for the white boy." Another user, BuccoCapital Bloke, commented, "From the man who destroyed democracy to the flag bearer of American industry and innovation in 8 years."
Growth of Threads
The video comes after Zuckerberg announced that Threads now boasts over 175 million monthly active users globally, with India emerging as the country with the most active users. This announcement marks a year since Threads was launched, continuing to grow as a platform where people feel comfortable sharing their thoughts and ideas.
